560. Better

Mauve opened her eyes and sat up immediately. She stretched out her hands, letting out a satisfied sound.

At the end of her stretch, she turned to her side, only to see Jael staring at her.

"You're awake," she jerked, startled.

"I think that's my line. Feeling better?" He asked as he also moved to a sitting position.

Mauve nodded.

"The headache?" He asked.

She paused as she wiggled her brows and scrunched up her face.

"What are you doing?" He asked in amusement.

"Checking," she smiled. "Just to make sure."

"And?" He asked.

"All gone," she replied.

Jael smiled and closed the gap between them. He lifted his hand and placed the back of his palm on her forehead.

"Your temperature is also back to normal."

She nodded, "I told you I will get better."

He smiled, "I guess you do keep your promises."

"Of course."
